Holiday Run 4 miles and Jingle Bell 5K

Congratulations racing JT's. On Saturday, December 6, six of us (Jeff, Bill, Mona, Derek, Steve and Kristen) braved the cold and snow to raise money for the Athritis foundations. We were entertained along the way with "Bad Santa" and many other Christmas characters. See below for some pictures and a great little video that Derek made to capture the fun.

This past Sunday, five of us (Jeff, Bill, Eunice, Mona, Concetta)paid money to run the same wonderful trail at Sharon Woods with a few hundred of our closest friends. Ha! Ha! We all finished strong and it felt great to be on our "home turf". I think we all had a huge advantage over the competition . Those darn hills are still my "cross to bear" but next year will be different.

Start thinking about your athletic goals for 2009. Is this your year to train for a full 26.2 mile marathon? Do you want to set a new race PR? At our first Sunday run on January 4th, I want to hear your goals so we can all support each other throughout the year. Remember, the first Sunday of every month means breakfast at Scramblers.

MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR JT's!

  1. Another topic for breakfast conversation will also be new JT's shirts. Several turtles have express an interest in getting new shirts so I'll bring some catalogs and everyone can take a look at the options.

    PS. My vote for breakfast is First Watch. I still haven't recovered from my last experience at Scramblers! Besides we haven't been to FW in forever!!
    Merry Christmas everyone. I plan to be at SW this Sunday 12/21. Hope to see some fellow JT's on the trail.
